    Kohler 5E Generator Water/Milky Oil in cylinders/crankcase

    Yeah, that's what I read online on several forums. Just not sure how that would have happened if everything was hooked up and looked untouched? All the parts of the boat looked like they sat for years. I'm just not sure how a decent bit of oil got inside, it was mostly oil and less water. The...

    Installing Water Heater w/ closed loop 8.1 engine?

    The volvo penta closed loop I'm working on is a 5.7 OSXI, fairly certain that's what it is. The other project I have is a merc 8.1 closed loop cooling system and the boat originally had a electric water heater.

    Kohler 5E Generator Water/Milky Oil in cylinders/crankcase

    Hi all, I've got a Kohler 5e I took the cylinder heads off and filled the crankcase with diesel. There was clear water intrusion into the cylinder heads/crankcase. The cylinder heads and intake of the gen has clear water intrusion through it. Does anyone know how it could have gotten in there...

    Installing Water Heater w/ closed loop 8.1 engine?

    I see, the original engine was fresh water cooling that's why I was asking. It was just connected to the block drain ports. VP doesn't have the same ports as merc for the coolant lines to connect to the heater.

    Hi Alldodge, do you by chance have a schematic for a set up I would need for a closed loop Volvo Penta 5.7?

    Installing Water Heater w/ closed loop 8.1 engine?

    The other Kuuma I included the part number on only has a cold and hot, versus the other one has a supply/return.

    Good deal, thank you. I'm assuming I would need this one : Kuuma 11811 ?

    Installing Water Heater w/ closed loop 8.1 engine?

    I'm looking for a bit of help on how to install a water heater with a closed loop cooling engine and what kind of water heater I'll need? I'm looking at two different Kuuma : KUUMA-11812 and KUUMA-11811 (The one I've replaced w/ water cooled engines) What would I need to install it and make it...

    Volvo Penta 5.7GXIC-J Misfiring/Black Smoke

    Good to know thank you for the advice, I also have 2 8.1s I have read that they have injector problems as well. It's always had non ethanol in it and so far I haven't had any issues. I guess it's time to return those eBay ones! Thanks again!

    Volvo Penta 5.7GXIC-J Misfiring/Black Smoke

    Even the eBay ones that are remanufactered with 2 year warranty are trash? I have some local guys who can clean and flow test my injectors. Their price was about $25 per injector with new seals. https://www.ebay.com/itm/223693107890 Here's the eBay ones I was talking about.

    Volvo Penta 5.7GXIC-J Misfiring/Black Smoke

    Will do, I'll get the cap and rotor changed out. It's pricier for me to get these injectors taken care of at a shop than it is to buy a set of reman Bosch ones on eBay with 2 yr warranty. Any suggestions on what's the best way to hook up and spray injector cleaner? I've used the valve stem...

    Volvo Penta 5.7GXIC-J Misfiring/Black Smoke

    Yes it's the flat style cap. It was changed out by the previous owner. It ran flawlessly prior to being put in storage.

    Volvo Penta 5.7GXIC-J Misfiring/Black Smoke

    I have an engine on a standalone tank and on a pallet I have running on non ethanol. I've changed out the fuel pump since it was shot to a Chinese one just to get it running. It cranks up and runs but misfires. It has all new spark plugs. The previous owner changed out the fuel rail and the fuel...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GXI Fuel in Oil Runs smooth at idle

    Will do! Thanks for the link. All of the FPR on all of my GXI engines I ended up swapping out. I'm assuming the only way to really get rid of all the clogging up is to get the paint on the inside of the pump housing stripped off like your post said? This is an engine I'll either end up using for...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GXI Fuel in Oil Runs smooth at idle

    Hopefully! Fingers crossed it does. I almost parted this engine out since I thought it was locked up and it ended up being a starter that was shot. Thanks for all the help guys! I don't typically work on much of these fuel injected engines but it's nice to have some advice on what to check and...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GXI Fuel in Oil Runs smooth at idle

    Yes I checked and one injector was leaking. I changed it out and primed it a few times and there was no others leaking after a few minutes and I left it out a day and no leaking currently from it. I just reassembled it. Vac line from the fuel pump is dry as well. Fuel pressure regulator was...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GXI Fuel in Oil Runs smooth at idle

    Not entirely sure how much I had to begin with in the engine. I recall it being more than the 5.5 quarts with filter if I remember correctly. Just to clarify by watery I mean thinned out to the point that it had the same viscosity as water when I poured out oil from the filter into the oil...

    Volvo Penta 5.7 GXI Fuel in Oil Runs smooth at idle

    Yes I extracted the oil and checked. I meant thinned out since there was so much gasoline. One injector I found was leaking on the port side. I squirted a good bit of seafoam deep creep oil in every cylinder hence the higher compression. I'm not sure what weight oil was in it before but the...
